They are one of my favorites to grow here on Long Island and I thought I would miss them when I make the big move.

Those Candy-stripped ones were the reason I bought the seeds, and the different color variations as well as all other solid colors are wonderful surprises. I think I will try more varieties next year especially with easy germination of the seeds.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-18884806854347834282011-06-02T21:15:46.443-04:002011-06-02T21:15:46.443-04:00NanaK: I also thought about direct sowing the see...NanaK: I also thought about direct sowing the seeds in the ground, but with my habit of moving and digging the plants, I was afraid I will accidently ruin the seedlings.
